Random Release . . . The Touch of Snow by Anna Edwards

Anna Edwards

Paranormal Romance

Release Date: June 27th 2017

Selene Harper
doesn’t know who she is and for that fact, what she is. If she touches someone,
she hears all their intimate thoughts. Not so good when you want to start
dating. And definitely not good when you are about to be thrown into the world
of shape-shifting bears, wolves and wild cats.

Brayden Dillion is a
shape-shifting snow leopard. He is the lead assassin of the Glacial Blood pack
but has already been told that when he mates, he will be made Beta. That is the
problem though. He cannot find his partner. Well, not until he goes to visit
his mother and meets Selene.

The Touch of Snow is
the first book in the new Glacial Blood series. A first paranormal book from
the author, Anna Edwards. It tells the story of a voyage of discovery for both
Selene and Brayden as they try to understand what fate has in store for them.
The Glacial Blood world is full of intrigue, suspense and a family of friends.
It also features a secret that should remain untold.

Family isn’t always blood; it’s the people in your life
that accept you for what you are.

Excerpt:

In all her life, she had never willingly reached out to touch someone,
but she found herself doing it before she could think. She took his hand, and
hers was enveloped in his grip. No thoughts entered her head. Her hand began to
tingle. Both their gazes shifted to where they were joined, skin to skin. Her
hand was changing, fingers turning into a paw, nails into claws. Fur sprouted
through the skin in white and smoky gray flecks. The hair was spreading, her
arm changing into a... a cat's leg. She jumped back, breaking the connection,
her arm cradled to her chest. Slowly the effects of the touch reversed until
she returned to normal.

"Selene," Brayden spoke but his words were lost.

All she could do was stare at her hand. "Wh... what are you?"
she stuttered.

"You need to let me take you back to my mother's apartment
now." He stepped forward, but she jumped back again.

He held his hands out in front of him so she could see them. "I
won't. You have my word. Let's go down to the car. Mom can help me
explain."

"She's like you? No, I've touched her. I heard her thoughts. I
didn't start changing into...into what was that?"

"Selene, please, the car." He stepped forward again and tried
to wrap his arms around her. She was too quick for him though, kicking out
before taking off through the desert as fast as she could. She didn't have a
clue where she was going. She just knew she needed to get away. The darkness
was closing in. The last thing she wanted was to be stranded in the California
desert with no water. A noise came from her left and she froze. From the
shadows stalked a big cat. It got close enough that she could distinguish it as
a snow leopard. Recognition, shook her. It couldn’t be. Her hand, that was what
she had been changing into.

"Brayden?"

Author Bio:

Ok, this is the bit where I
have to sell myself. Why is it so much easier to write about sexy blokes!
Anyway… I am a British author, from the depths of the rural countryside near
London. In a previous life, I was an Accountant from the age of twenty-one. I
still do that on occasions but most of my life is now spent intermingling
writing while looking after my husband, two children and two cats (probably in
the inverse order to the one listed!). When I have some spare time, I can also
be found writing poetry, baking cakes (and eating them), or behind a camera
snapping like a mad paparazzi.

In 2015 I was diagnosed
with depression and anxiety. It was also around this time that I became one of
the founding members of a dramatic/erotic/dark roleplaying group on Twitter. It
was wildly popular with both English and American followers. The writing helped
me to overcome my depression by giving me an outlet to channel my thoughts into
and not sit around worrying all day about things that would never happen. I
took over responsibility for management of the group and responsibility for
development of our storylines. As well as playing at least ten different
characters in the group ranging from an innocent virgin, blood thirsty assassin
and even a male lover. The success of the role-play spurred me on to writing
novels.

I have a love of travelling and like to bring this to my stories to give
them the air of reality. Death Valley is somewhere I visited in 2008 after a tragic
personal event. It was part of a tour of the west coast of America that I loved
a great deal. The highlight of the trip was a helicopter ride over the Grand
Canyon.

I have always been an avid
reader. Mainly murder mystery in the past but with Beautiful Bastard I
discovered a whole new set of novels and I haven’t looked back since. I like my
hero’s hot and hunky with a dirty mouth. My heroines demur but with spunk. And
my books in a kickarse series.
